Nest cameras and smart plug say no connection to internet

[kchowns]

Hi!  My tp-link smart plug (model HS-100) and Nest cameras (model A0005) can no longer connect to the internet.  The last time I used them we only had a non fibre connection.  We now have Fibre 65 with a new hub (model ?, but my landline phone connects to hub) and I wonder if this is the problem?  

Could it also be that I am using a tp link powerline adapter (either models TL-PA4010 or HS100), hub to mains, to connect the above appliances to the internet and there is a compatibility issue with the new hub? Although, there were no problems before and no drop out/disconnects with the internet.

Any help welcomed!

Hi kchowns

How are you getting on? Do you still need help with this?

Hi Kim,

Follow the configuration areas that I mentioned in Post #8 and check if the SSID (network name) & password quoted there match the ones you are trying to connect to the router with.

Sometimes due to problems with some of these apps that control these devices, they require the two SSIDs to have different names to each other. Try adding a 5G to the end of the 5GHz band SSID. These can all be found in the same configuration area as before. Then try connecting to the network names for the 2.4GHz band.

Hi Keith

I have found the hub dashboard.  What shall i do now?  Regards Kim

You are logging into your router, aren't you? If so it is here (depending if you have a Hub 1 or Hub 2):-

See WiFi Settings

However, you can use any of these two or three other buttons & follow though to Advanced Settings.

Hi Keith

I went to my dashboard, but cannot find a link to "See Wi-Fi settings".  can you tell me where this link is on the dashboard?  Thanks

Hi @kchowns 

I can't remember much about this issue as it goes back to before Christmas. If you log into the router you should be able to see the SSID name & wireless passwords for the 2.4GHz band by going to:-

Dashboard > See Wi-Fi Settings > Manage Advanced Settings > Wi-Fi 2.4Ghz gear icon > Basic

Then for the 5GHz band go to:-

Dashboard > See Wi-Fi Settings > Manage Advanced Settings > Wi-Fi 5Ghz gear icon > Basic

Hi Keith

Thank you for your time and patience.  Again sorry for the delay.  The importance of resolving this issue relates to when we go on holidays and with a holiday coming up, I've remembered I need to sought this out.

The password has changed.  The long serial numbers under the the removable passwords tab have also all changed.  I thought a name followed the acronym SSID, but this does not appear against any of the three serial numbers/barcodes.  But I assume one of these is a wireless network name.

Hope this helps and will check this forum daily.

I am still waiting to help you, but can do nothing without the information I requested on 22/12/2023.

Hello

Sorry for taking so long to reply.  I reinstalled the two apps for Kasa and Nest on my android mobile and nothing changed.  Both say there is no internet connection. Can TalkTalk please contact me to resolve this issue.

Thank you.

Hello,

How are you getting on?

Since the upgrade & new router, has the wireless network name & password changed, requiring these devices to be reconfigured to use the new router's details. Alternatively, did you reconfigure the new router to use your old router's wireless credentials? What router do you have now, I assume it is the Sagemcom Hub2 (FAST5464)? This is purely a wireless problem, nothing to do with how your landline phone connects. There shouldn't be a compatibility issue with powerline adapters.
